Mike Castle does not represent Delaware. This isn’t news to many of you that read this blog, but it needs to be said over and over again so the Democrats can put someone up against Castle and beat him.
Castle voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. The bill passed but that’s not the point. Republican Mike Castle does not believe a woman who has been denied equal pay can sue for compensatory and punitive damages.
Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro (D-CT) said in a statement, “Equal pay is more than just economics, it about basic fairness. Lilly Ledbetter was shortchanged – shortchanged by her employer, the perpetrator of consistent pay discrimination lasting years; and shortchanged again, by the Supreme Court. This ruling essentially left women facing gender discrimination with little remedy. While Lilly Ledbetter will not receive the pay she deserves, this Congress is making certain that others do not lose their right to fight pay discrimination.”
Email Mike Castle and let him know that he needs to start representing Delaware, not John Boehner.
